in 2008, obama won 57-42 over mccain with the hispanic vote here. one of the reasons that it was higher in the rest of the nation is that we have about a third of our hispanic voters are cuban america. they tend to overwhelmingly vote republican. what you're seeing since 2008 and since 2006 and before is there's a burgeoning puerto rican community in central florida that's largely democratic that's balancing out the cuban republican vote. so that's really where obama's mining for more hispanic votes there. albeit, he'd love to have more cuban american votes as well. >> and fairly quickly, both presidential candidates have made at least 20 campaign stops in the campaign so far. and in issues affecting seniors, both medicare and medicaid, have been the focus, obviously. elderly are incredibly reliable voters. in a short period of time, what do both candidates have to tell florida seniors? >> they're going to try to convince that voting population that the ore one would be worse for medicare, in short. you've heard a lot come out of their mouths about

the fact that president george w. bush said the worst moment of his presidency was when kanye west suggested that he was racist, there's a part of me that likes that. i like the idea that people find racism bad. and they don't want to be associated with it. right? on the one hand that is progress. there was much of american history where people were like, yep, i'm a racist. that's happening at the same time we get this narrative. >> that's the importance of having the conversation about race. the complexity is that we've made so much progress in this country, that it isn't acceptable to be racist. and that as a result, so many people aren't consciously racist. right? and at the same time, because we have our first black president, it's also brought up some of the overt stuff. so like post-2008, after obama's elected, white supremacist websites started crashing because of the increased traffic to white supremacist sites. that's over at racism. at the same time, the danger in not talking about race is that for the major
